[pymvpa] Searchligh SVM on fMRI Beta Values in PyMVPA

[Raúl Hernández]

Hi,

For sure there is a better approach, but I also had the same issue. What I
ended up doing is pretending that each beta map was a volume of a raw fMRI
acquisition. So I calculated the beta maps and then used the FSL command
fslmerge to concatenate every beta map to analyze. Then I put the resulting
4D in a folder following the structure required for PyMVPA and loaded the
file as if it were a raw fMRI. Then proceeded with my searchlight script
just skipping the preprocessing.

Regards,

Raul
